By perking yourself up at the first sign of hunger (hello, 3 p.m. munchies), you can help to prevent cravings and overeating later. Turn to snacks like brown rice crackers and cheese, avocado toast, Greek yogurt with berries, or string cheese and an apple. All of these contain a combination of carbs, fiber, protein, and fat for true staying power. Plus, you can stash them in a desk drawer or your office fridge so they’re ready when you are, says Sarah Calamita, R.D., a registered dietitian and board-certified sports dietitian with the East Bank Club in Chicago. If you like to work out after work, your afternoon nibble can also double as a pre-workout snack, she says. And better fueling means better results.
